std::graphics::opengles

Source: std/graphics/opengles.slk

This is the exact canonical documentation page for std::graphics::opengles.

Role#

std::graphics::opengles is a shipped nested module in the Silk standard library. This exact-name page exists so the module can be discovered and referenced directly by its canonical name.

Use this module when Silk code needs raw OpenGL ES calls under a host-owned ES context, such as an EGL, mobile, embedded, or browser-adjacent runtime. Like the desktop OpenGL module, this page documents bindings only: surface creation, context ownership, swap/present, input, and frame pacing remain host responsibilities.

Practical Workflow#

• Create the surface and OpenGL ES context in the host.
• Compile Silk rendering code as an object with silk build --kind object.
• Link against the platform OpenGL ES loader (libGLESv2.so.2 on common Linux hosted systems, or the platform equivalent).
• Call exported Silk functions only after the ES context is current.
• Use std::graphics::Ptr (u64) for raw C pointer parameters and preserve pointer lifetimes on the host side.
